Quote:Alex Mack is going to be too expensive for a center, and the Browns have now publicly stated that resigning Mack is a very high priority. I am not sure he ultimately hits free agency. It would not shock me to see him get a new deal with the Browns, or the Brrowns bite the financial bullet and tag him for a year to continue working on a deal.

If the Browns tag him, he has to be paid the average of the top 10 (or whatever the number is) NFL O-lineman, including OT's, not just Centers.  You may know this, but I am reminding you.  And most agree they would be crazy to do that.  Although Jacksonville is Jacksonville, we now have a desirable coach to work with, and it would be better than staying in Cleveland.  So if the Jags and Cleveland make him similar offers, say around $6M per year, maybe he does pick Jacksonville.  Somebody is going to pay him.  Why not the Jags?  Who else we have to pay??  LOL
